@MN_GIMD I completely agree. Social media is a powerful tool that can increase visibility for both programs and trainees alike. In the right hands, it can be a great resource for learning. Education need not need to be constrained to journals and conferences.
Saturday night at @DDWMeeting our group went to dinner.
More and more people kept walking into the room, faculty, fellows, residents, mentors, collaborators, friends. And at one point I looked around and had one of those quiet full circle moments.
Not because success suddenly appeared overnight. Many people in this group have been putting in the work for years. Building programs. Publishing. Teaching. Leading. Showing up again and again.
But this year, seeing everyone together, you could feel the momentum.
And no better ending to @DDWMeeting than @MahamHayatMD
bringing home the @ASGEendoscopy World Cup.
An absolutely incredible accomplishment and the perfect representation of talent, work ethic, and excellence. She quietly continues to raise the bar for herself and everyone around her.

But what do we actually do about it?
Some of the most practical takeaways I heard in @KanwalFasiha talk:
🔹 Define your niche- deliberately
Your niche is not just your research topic.
If people hear your name, what do they associate you with?
🔹 Find a sponsor, not just a mentor
Mentors guide you. They’re the ocean - broad, steady, essential.
Sponsors move you. Your sponsor is your whale (see pic, it’ll make sense)
🔹 Be strategic with your yes and your no. Not every opportunity is an opportunity.
3 actions:
• Define your niche in one sentence
• Identify one potential sponsor this month
• Audit your commitments and start saying no with intention
Careers don’t just evolve. They’re designed.
And if we want different outcomes, we have to be intentional about how we build them. @DDWMeeting #DDW2026

These are not complaints. These are design failures.”
Time to name them, measure them, and build something better.

The newly published edition of Waye's Colonoscopy: Principles and Practice continues a long-standing tradition in colonoscopy education.
@AimenKhanMD co-authored the chapter on acute colonic pseudo-obstruction - a proud example of the scholarly contributions our fellows continue to make to the field.
ACPO may be uncommon, but it is an important diagnosis to recognize early and a reminder that great training is about judgment and clinical reasoning, not just technical skill.
Few things are more rewarding in fellowship leadership than watching trainees become contributors to the field.

Medical education has been the heartbeat of my career since 2015.
I am excited to announce a new chapter as Associate Designated Institutional Officer (ADIO) for GME within the AdventHealth Central Florida Division.
In this role, I will provide strategic oversight & leadership for some of our residency & fellowship programs to ensure we continue to meet the highest educational standards.
While I am stepping into this broader capacity, I remain committed to the GI Fellowship in my role as PD.
Deeply grateful to the mentors who have supported me from my time at the University of Iowa to today.
I look forward to serving our GME community to an even greater extent!

Hot off the press 🚨
SRMA (10 studies; n=2,021) directly comparing Upa vs Tofa in UC
Upa showed:
⬆️ Steroid-free clinical remission at induction (OR 1.98) & maintenance (OR 2.32)
⬇️ Treatment discontinuation (OR 0.51)
Couldn’t have done this without my coauthors and mentors🙏
